HOW I WANT TO LIVE

"I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coifed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."
Linda Bentley Johnson, 1997 Byu Women’s conference http://deseretbook.com/mormon-life/news/story?story_id=6999

Blog Index

As you can see I have changed my blog template so my search capability does work now if you know what you are looking for. If you are hunting for a recipe or something else on my blog go to the very bottom, after the paintings, I have posted an index that you can just click on the name and it will take you there.
